Saaaame!!!! Help!!!!thatguruguy wrote:No joy. I receive the message "Whoops something went wrong" with error code C7702-1003 from Netflix that people reported earlier in the thread.
The base OS is the most recent Raspbian with PIXEL. Or PIXEL Powered by Raspbian. See here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/introducing-pixel/akha wrote:I've been following this thread, and I feel the waters have been muddied a little:
- Are people follow ruralguru's, sysq's, or some other guide entirely?

That would be very useful.thatguruguy wrote:The guide I followed was ruralguru's, although there are a few steps left out and there are a few differences (for instance, the user agent). When I get a chance, I'll post a new guide, including finding a place to host the two widevine libs, so you don't have to extract them from the recovery image yourself.
Your file works great, thanks! Just had to install your file and launch the browser from the console with this: chromium-browser --use-gl=egl --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS armv7l 6946.86.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.91 Safari/537.36"thatguruguy wrote:Sorry I haven't had time to re-do the tutorial. I have, however, created a .deb file which will:
1. Install the widevide libraries automatically, if you have chromium installed, and
2. create a launcher for netflix with the appropriate user-agent and place it in your "Internet" menu.

It's even easier than that. If you look under "Internet" in your applications menu, you should see the Netflix-Launcher. If you click on that, it will launch Chromium automatically with the correct user-agent string, and it will already be pointed to Netflix.com. You can also right-click on the launcher to add it to your desktop, if you so choose. No need to open the terminal just to launch chromium.NeetfliixIsNowOnPi wrote: Your file works great, thanks!

The first time I tried launching like that it gave me an error on Netflix's site. Now I tried again and it works great, thanks again! Now is there anything we could do to make the video just a bit faster? I get 7 dropped frames on average fullscreen 512x384 and 0-4 dropped frames not fullscreen 512x384.

It will only be in Chromium. Go to the terminal:casetero wrote:Hi there,
Sorry for my english and my noob kwnoledge about linux.
I have installed the last chormium version and im trying to install the .deb file of above.
I place it in the desktop of raspbian and double click on it. It shows me an error and cant install it. Do i have to place it in another place??
If i achieve to install this file, is there anyway to see netflix from KODI ( installed in my raspbian), or do i have to see netflix under chromium in the raspbian desktop??
Thank you!
Code: Select all
cd [location of deb]
sudo dpkg -i [name of the deb]Yeahcasetero wrote:Thank you!!
It will be installed in the correct place no matter where the file .deb is placed??

After hours spent to get chromium load the widevide libraries without success, your .deb file made it work at my first try on my "PI3 + last raspbian (pixel) + Kodi 16.1 + flix2kodi 0.66" system.
Good job and many thanks !
Now chromium plays my netflix video BUT I've got another issue:
kodi doesn't display the video after clicking on a file.
It displays the video list but the chromium launcher is displayed on another device (or screen), the one with the pixel desktop, not on the one used by Kodi.
I don't know how to solve that until now.
I've tried several options for chromium start (command line switches), I've tried to boot on console mode, also tried to disabling vnc server, without success
I'll try to change the chromium launcher script, as described a few line before
I'll try that as soon as I'll get timeexport DISPLAY=:0.0

There is still a problem with the HW acceleration of videos but the Rasp. Pi Org says that YouTube shell run smoothly on the Pi 3.
Btw. Pixel comes with Chromium V. 51.0.2704.91, if anyone would like to know.
Thank you so very much for making that it that worked for me after 3 days struggling, scouring the web and 3 operating systems later.thatguruguy wrote:Sorry I haven't had time to re-do the tutorial. I have, however, created a .deb file which will:
